YA Indie Carnival - My Writing Space

YA writers and bloggers unite each week to share their thoughts on what it's like going indie in today's publishing world.This week is a fun one. We get to share where we spend our writing time. I actually have two spaces thanks to the dodgy internet connection in our house.

My favourite place to work is at my desk as I have everything I need at my finger tips. Having just moved, I haven't had a chance to set up my quotes yet, but usually my walls are plastered with inspiring quotes, poems I love and my writing goals for the year. We are renting so I'm not sure I can do that here. I'm trying to figure out the best way to get this stuff up around me. Any suggestions are most welcome.The other space I work when my internet connection isn't playing fair, is out in my dining room. I have to say, it is a bright, spacious place to work in, so I shouldn't really complain.

I get a really sore neck and shoulders from writing, so I find having the computer a little higher gives me better posture. It doesn't take long for me to start slumping again though :)

When I'm doing intense writing sessions, I set my watch timer for 20 mins and put it on the other side of the room. It forces me to get up and stretch, because it won't stop beeping until I switch it off. It works really well.

Did you get sore shoulders? I'm sure it's an ailment of most writers :)

My writing space is actually in the corner of my bedroom. I have dreams of one day working in a room that's all mine where the walls are covered with shelves of books and there's a massive reading chair in the corner, super comfy and plush :)
